How To Make Jamie Oliver Broccoli And Stilton Soup On The Stove

1. Start by heating up the rapeseed oil in a large pot. Once it’s hot, add the finely chopped onion and let it cook on medium heat until it softens. If the onion starts to stick to the pot, add a little water.
2. Next, add the sliced celery stick, the sliced leek, the diced potato, and a small piece of butter to the pot. Stir everything together until the butter melts. Cover the pot with a lid and let the vegetables sweat for about 5 minutes. After that, remove the lid.
3. Now, pour the chicken or vegetable stock into the pot. Also, add any large pieces of broccoli stalk. Let everything cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until all the vegetables are soft.
4. Add the remaining chopped broccoli to the pot and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes.
5. Once everything is cooked, carefully transfer the soup to a blender. Blend the soup until it’s smooth.
6. Finally, stir in the crumbled Stilton cheese into the soup, leaving a few lumps for texture. Season the soup with some black pepper and it’s ready to serve.
